Daddy Bluebird Looks A Little Miffed

I saw this picture on one of my favorite sites and just had to post it.  I love browsing the pictures on wunderground every chance I get.  There is a section for Approver's Choice pictures and another one is Current Weather and still another for Current Outdoors.

Hope you have a joyful weekend!

SIMPLE JOYS

A Poem by Emily Matthews

See the little sandpiper

Running along the shore

As the tide rolls up to meet him

Where his footprints were before?

He seems in such a hurry

I can’t help but wonder why

He doesn’t even pause to see

Just what he’s passing by~

The brilliant gems of sunlight

That glitter on the sea,

The tranquil blue of endless skies,

And breezes, light and free….

How often, like the sandpiper,

We run our days away,

Arriving at a peaceful place

Without the time to stay.

Our lives can get so busy

As we take on more and more,

Less time is left for simple joys

Than just the day before.

Yet, its gifts like LOVE and FRIENDSHIP

And the things that make us smile

That make our lifelong journey

A blessing every mile.
